Detailed Description
Three vertical scroll paintings are displayed, each mounted with a dark brown fabric border at the top and bottom, and a lighter tan border framing the central painted area. Gold-colored metal fittings are visible at the top and bottom of each scroll. The background of each painting is a plain, light brown or tan color. The leftmost scroll features a standing figure facing right, with their head turned slightly towards the viewer. They wear a light-colored, patterned robe with wide sleeves, possibly holding a sword or long object behind their back, with a hilt visible near their left shoulder. The robe has subtle floral or cloud-like patterns in lighter tones. The central scroll depicts a figure in a dynamic pose, leaning forward and to the left. This figure wears a similar light-colored, patterned robe with wide sleeves. They have a tall, dark, pointed hat or mask on their head, and appear to be holding small, light-colored objects, possibly birds or flowers, in their outstretched hands. The rightmost scroll shows a figure kneeling on both knees, facing slightly left. This figure wears a dark, simple hat and a long, reddish-brown robe over patterned trousers or an undergarment. Their hands are held out in front of them, appearing to hold or present a small, reddish-brown object. Each scroll has faint, vertical lines of text in the lower left or right corner.
